Karoshi 2.0 is more of what the first game already offered, but the puzzles this time are much more about different/unusual solutions then they are about shoving crates. I must say I'm very happy with the game, and it includes some really clever puzzles (esspecially the final few levels).

Complaints about Karoshi 1 were that the graphics weren't always that great, and that the game was too short. The sequel has a lot more levels (and is actually even longer than you think...) and I've done my best this time to make sure the presentation is great and that all graphics fit together.

The level editor is very easy and straight forward to use, and levels can be saved as .lvl files. You can also copy the code and post it on the forums, and other people can paste that into the game.

Karoshi 1 Speedrun mode

I noticed replaying Karoshi 1 was pretty fun, and many other people liked that too. Therefore, I included this mode, in which you have seven minutes (yes, a hint at Virtanen's game) to complete all levels. You can even try to beat my score (which is 2:04 time left).

Update: tjp7154 has beaten my record with 2:41 left, a difference of 37 seconds! Amazing. He even made a nice vid of it.

I like this a bit better than the first. I'm glad you got rid of those blood splashes; they kind of cluttered the screen a bit. I'm stuck on level 14. 12 and 13 were funny, and I especially liked level 5.

I did not like the music that consisted of one note. The other music was fine, though.

Overall, this is very imaginative, much more so than most puzzle games of this genre. What a great game!

EDIT 2: On level 42, no hint??? Boy, one of those between 38 and 42 is evil. (You know which one...)

EDIT 3: I'm on level 45...

Working on music off and on. School gets in the way. My site's a mess of non-updatedness.

Thanks for Play is the final ending, right? If so, does that mean that I am the first recorded winner of Karoshi 2.0? Yippee!

EDIT: Oh wait, NOW I really beat it...

Yippee!

EDIT 2: Apparently I haven't beat it... Anybody know how to do the black and white level?

I'm sure it's blatantly obvious, but I can't seem to beat level 17. It's the red and black one with shapes under the switches.
Anyway, nice game. I liked the original, too. Good job on including puzzles that are a bit more out there!

I like the track a lot, but I included the music from Karoshi 1 for people who don't, esspecially since I haven't heard anyone complain about Karoshi 1's music. And the third "music" option I included... uh well...

You are the greatest Developer ever. I loved the first one, and this is AWESOME!!!11!!one!!

OMG thanks!

YAY! This.Is.Great.100009/10

Highest rating I ever got.

It never ends...

Cant finish 48, dont have a music CD. >.<

Unless thats not how you do it..

Um yeah... I expected everyone to still have one of these... >_> I'll try to think of a good workaround for people who don't.

EDIT: You can download a non-cd version here. Put your old savefile int he same folder and you can continue where you left off.

It freezez right after I choose what level to do.

Really? It may be that it loads in the music but that shouldn't take longer than a second.

Any hint for the "What's on the today?" level ?

you left out the most important word. It says "what's on the menu today?".

How do you get past level 39?

Try to look for a block that has a red pixel on it. (I know, that's a rather stupid solution, but I wanted people to press Q).

Nice. Though very easy. I noticed just copy and pasting this code doesn't work, because it only takes the first row. Kind of a bummer. In order to play it I had to first make it into one "sentence".

can someone plz tell me how to beat lvl 4 !!!!!

There are 4 crates, and as you can see only the 3rd one can crush you if it falls down.
